Canvassed, not glued

Canvassed, not glued

The canvas is a layer between the suit fabric and the lining that gives the jacket its shape. All our quality canvas is made from the finest horsehair. To test your suit jacket for this feature of excellence, pinch the fabric slightly at the front. If the canvas is hand stitched, you will feel an extra layer loose on the inside. If not, this means the suit fabric has been fused with glue.

The suit’s shoulders hug yours

The suit’s shoulders hug yours

The suit jacket shoulders should gently hug and encase yours, creating the perfect structure. To achieve this, our suits feature a small top shoulder canvas, and pads are manually attached. A further subtle enhancement is the use of cotton tapes to strengthen the shoulder seams.
